Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 751 A ritual ceremony (two in one)

Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was a city with no secrets.

At least the famous Cui family of Qinghe suffered another big loss at the hands of Hu Biao and other Anxi army remnants. Nearly three hundred of the family's elite guards were wiped out.

Even Cui Chong, Cui's Qianliju, was almost beaten to death after being captured alive.

Even if he didn't die, he almost didn't go crazy when he came back.

And in exchange for Cui Chong, Cui Qun promised them that the Cui family of Qinghe would not cause any trouble to Hu Biao and others for half a year.

For the above matter, in just a day or two, the leaders at the bottom may still know nothing about it.

But for some sub-level big shots who do not have the strength of the Cui family and the Guo family, but have some strength and status in Chang'an City, it is already clear.

Suddenly, the remaining 31 people of the Anxi Army were looked down upon by these big shots.

Of course, it was just a high glance.

Because they don't think that in half a year, people like Hu Biao will be able to ignore the Cui family of Qinghe and take revenge on a thousand-year-old family.

So for the Anxi Army Xuange Camp, these guys will die sooner or later without a burial place.

They just glanced at it and didn't take it to heart.

But this is fine. At least Hu Biao and the others, after some serious research, believe that they can take a bigger step in development in the coming time.

Now take out some things that are not too sensitive but were afraid to take them out one by one.

For example: brewing technology, cotton spinning technology, expanding the scale of supermarket operations, etc.

Anyway, these big shots in Chang'an City must think that as long as they wait for half a year, they can wait until the Cui family kills them all.

Afterwards, these industries can be divided up naturally like dividing pork.

If we take action rashly now, it will be unsightly if it provokes a counterattack from these reckless men.

So under such circumstances, Hu Biao and others began to prepare for the reopening of Deyuelou, which had been closed for several days.

Regarding the reopening situation, other aspects are fine.

The only problem is that more than 200 people in Deyuelou just died in that battle.

It opened only a few days later, and the bloody smell has dissipated; but will there be shadows in the hearts of all the guests, and will it affect the business by then?
A place where people used to drink, eat meat, and have fun was designated to be there.

In response to this, Deyuelou, the landlady in Chang'an City who was famous for her outstanding beauty and flirtatious style, suddenly became very worried.

But for the time being, there was no good solution.

I can only ask everyone in the team to help find out where there are some famous bald masters and Taoist priests, and pay a lot of money to come and perform a ritual, and see what the effect is...

Two nights later, at the dining table in Deyue Tower.

Because tonight is the team's daily meeting once every seven days.

A group of netizens were eating dinner made by Barong himself; some of them were talking about the results of their actions in the past two days.

For example, the warehouse manager stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth. When he took it out again, only a few bare leg bones were left.

So much so that after throwing such a bone without a trace of meat to his pet Tibetan Mastiff Erha, the other party couldn't help but give him a look of disgust.

But the warehouse manager didn't seem to see it at all, and clamped another chicken paw.

While chewing in his mouth, he said directly:
"Your Majesty, something is not right about inviting people to perform rituals; Master Xuanku, the abbot of Daci'en Temple, was invited out without even seeing me.

Damn it!I spent ten thousand yuan of sesame oil money in vain. "

The voice fell, and more members of the team started to yell and complain one by one.

Singer: "I went to Daxingshan Temple, which is as famous as Daci'en Temple, and met the abbot, Master Ernan; but what did you say?

It was then that we talked about performing a ritual ceremony for our Yue Tower. One second, the master was still discussing Buddhism with me, but the next second, his eyes were no longer eyes, and his nose was no longer a nose.

Yu command room, I can remember that you plan to invite some Taoist priests back, so what's the situation? "

"Hey~ stop talking." Yu Hanfeng said this, and it was obvious that he didn't have any good news.

As expected, this was the case, and then Yu Hanfeng told another bad news: "I went to Yuzhen Temple, and that's why I told him, they don't want my sesame oil money anymore.

Damn it!It’s also money. Does our money feel hot in our hands? "

In the following time, the news from Fenghuahui, Laoshe and others was also not optimistic.

In general, in the past day or two, everyone visited many temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an City.

But no matter how much money they planned to pay for the sesame oil, none of the bald masters and Taoist priests who were well-known in Chang'an City were willing to come over and perform rituals for them.

Some small temples, or some wandering Taoist priests, are willing to take on such a job.

The key is that their reputation is not good. Even after performing a ritual, Hu Ji is not recognized by the people of Chang'an City. If we really want to invite them, it is better to let a small Taoist priest like Yun Qing come forward.

Investigating the reason, everyone actually knows what is going on.

It's just that these temples and Taoist temples are worried about offending the Cui family of Qinghe, a bigger financial backer.

Damn it!This kind of almost spontaneous business behavior, even in annoyance went to trouble Cui Qun, saying that they were not trustworthy.

Thinking of this, everyone felt extremely depressed.

The main reason is that today, they have prepared all the preparations for Deyuelou to reopen one by one.

Even in other industries, there are some linkage activities that will be carried out together; before, they were thinking that a large-scale promotion event would make their industry more popular.

The result was unexpected, but I got stuck at the first step.

While they were upset, everyone's enthusiasm for cooking seemed to have dropped a bit.

Under such a situation, Yang Dongli suddenly suggested:

"Your Majesty, the courtyard that the Cui family built in Ruyuanfangfang is very good in terms of location and layout. How about renovating it.

Then I changed the name and reopened a restaurant there. "

Facing Yang Dongli's proposal, the imperial concubine did not speak. Hu Biao was the first to say: "No."

The reason for this is not only to renovate a residential house into a restaurant, but also to delay the opening for at least a month or two. Everyone simply can't wait now.

More importantly, he knew the imperial concubine very well.

Knowing this girl's feelings for 'De Yue Lou', if she changed her name to a different name, the imperial concubine who was busy with the task of the team would never say anything, but she would probably feel a little disappointed in her heart.

Therefore, he did not want to see such a situation occur when it was not a critical matter.

After pausing for a second or two, he gave an explanation:
“It takes too much time to find another place to open.

Why not go out to the city tomorrow to hire someone, or even go further, and ask a higher price to see if there are any famous bald masters or Taoist priests from other places who are willing to take on this job. "

After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another.

I plan to try Hu Biao's statement, and if it doesn't work, I'll make other calculations.

However, what they never expected was that early the next morning, everyone who had practiced martial arts and internal strength would be eating breakfast at home.

After breakfast, the singer, Lao She, Lao Hei and others planned to set off to visit some surrounding states and counties to see if they could invite some other masters.

Suddenly, a porter hurriedly walked in and handed the imperial concubine a greeting card that looked very elegant but not simple at all.

The imperial concubine took it and opened it casually and took a look.

I saw that there was a beautiful brush on it, and it was written like this: Three days Fujiao Fuyuan Great Master, Xuanduguan Zhangjiao Tianyi Daoist worship.

The meaning of this thing is quite simple in calculation:
Master Tianyi, the head teacher of Xuandu Guan, intends to visit you. Is such a thing possible?If so, when exactly.

If you reply to the person who sent you the greeting note above, once the two parties have agreed, the other party will come directly to your door.After messing around with several tasks, the imperial concubine was naturally able to figure out the ropes.

He did not reply directly to the concierge, but said to everyone: "Brothers, it seems that we don't have to go to other places to invite people; at least we can wait a little later and see the situation before deciding whether to go."

Of course there is a reason for the imperial concubine to say this.

Because this Xuandu view is recognized as the number one view among Taoists in Chang'an City.

This is not only a royal Taoist temple, but also great sages such as Wang Yan, Li Xiazhou, Ye Fashan, Ye Jingneng, Yin Jingchong, Li Rong, Shi Chong, and Niu Hongman lived here in the past.

Even one of them, Li Xia and Zhou Dade, predicted the occurrence of the An-Shi Rebellion decades ago, which was quite unscientific.

For this reason, in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, he was as good as Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, and he was a figure like a land god.

So, is Master Tianyi qualified to perform a ritual for Deyuelou?
Of course it does, and the effect will be astonishingly good.

It's just that Xuandu Guan is a bit too high-end, Hu Biao and the others are still able to push the numbers, knowing that the other party doesn't look down on their three melons at all.

Therefore, from beginning to end, no one thought about asking Master Tianyi.

However, today, the other party came to the door unexpectedly, which made them see the possibility of asking Master Tianyi to take action.

Just like that, when the greeting card was in the hands of other netizens and began to be passed around,

The imperial concubine said to the concierge: "Go and tell the visitor that I will sweep up and down the couches at the Anxi Army's Xuan Ge Camp, waiting for the arrival of Master Tianyi's Dharma frame..."

******
Didn't have to wait too long, that afternoon.

A group of bumpkin netizens successfully met Tianyi Zhenren, who was definitely famous in Chang'an City and it was very difficult for ordinary people to even meet him.

This is an old man who is said to be a hundred years old.

But when he really saw it, he only looked like he was in his sixties; when he opened his mouth, he could even see a set of well-maintained teeth.

He only wore a simple green robe and Shifang shoes, and his white hair was fixed with a wooden hairpin.

Judging from the appearance alone, it completely satisfies everyone's beautiful fantasies about immortality and mastery.

For a time, everyone who was not too cold towards the bald master and Taoist priest had a little more respect for this Master Tianyi.

Instead of just some superficial politeness like it was at first.

It was exactly like this that when Master Tianyi sat down in the best small building in Deyue Tower, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli and Guifei sat down to meet him.

The three of them didn't talk nonsense and complimented each other a little.

Hu Biao, a die-hard commander, got straight to the point: "I don't know what the master's instructions were when he came here today. As long as we can do it, we will definitely do it."

After hearing such a sentence, as a real person of Tianyi, I had no intention of making contact with Hu Biao and others.

He spoke directly: "A few days ago, I accidentally saw this thing. After a rough look, it is quite interesting. I heard that it was originally written by your Anxi Army Xuange Camp."

While talking, Master Tianyi took out a pamphlet from his hand and placed it in front of the three of them.

Hu Biao and others opened their eyes and took a look. When they saw the three handwritten characters "Journey to the West" on the cover, they discovered that it was actually a handwritten manuscript.

Suddenly my heart moved, and I could vaguely grasp something.

First of all, before Deyuelou temporarily closed down due to the sneak attack of Cui's tribe, Huang Yizhi had already republished "Journey to the West" to No. 30:

The Demon King cleverly plotted against the Sleepy Heart Monkey and the Great Shengteng to deceive the treasure.

In "Journey to the West", which has a total of one hundred chapters, it can be regarded as one-third of the story.

A specific effect is that in today's era of poor entertainment methods, such a classic story has naturally become extremely popular.

Even among the guests who listen to books every day, there are many other storytellers.

They ordered some wine and food and ate and drank slowly, in order to memorize the latest chapter in Fatty Huang's place, and then go to other places to tell stories.

After all, the cost of Deyuelou is a bit high, which is beyond the reach of most Chang'an people.

It is said that the daily income of these storytellers is quite considerable.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, although printing had been invented, the advanced technology of movable type printing had to wait until the Song Dynasty before it was invented and popularized by Bi Sheng.

Therefore, printing a copy of "Journey to the West" is not something that can be done in a short time. The appearance of such a handwritten copy is not too rare.

It can also be considered from another aspect, which shows the popularity of "Journey to the West" today.

In other words, it is the elegant poetry that is currently popular in the Tang Dynasty, rather than such a novel; otherwise, Fatty Huang would be called a master again.

Secondly, Hu Biao and others naturally know the promotional effect of "Journey to the West" on bald masters.

It can be said that many people in later generations have their first impression of the bald masters from the book "Journey to the West".

Why are so many people so impressed by the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva’s great compassion?Also because such a book played a considerable role in it.

When I first chose to talk about "Journey to the West", in addition to the fact that this novel is a classic, Hu Biao and others also secretly wanted to make friends with bigwigs like the Bald Master.

But what I didn't expect was that Xu was the reason why Master Xuanzang's Consciousness-Only School was already in decline.

The masters from other sects have not come to visit me yet, but a top Taoist priest has come.

In addition to seeing the amazing promotion effect of "Journey to the West" on this industry, Hu Biao and the others really couldn't figure out what they, poor guys, could be attracted to.

Briquettes, stoves, rickshaws, wok dishes, castrated fat pigs?

Pull it down, Xuandu Guan incense is at its peak, and there is a lot of money for sesame oil every year, how can they value such a small thing that only the poor can care about.

After realizing the above, the eyes of Hu Biao and the other three people were immediately filled with excitement.

Yang Dongli said: "Yes, this book was written by our captain Huang Yizhi. This person usually has no hobbies, but likes to think about these story-telling novels.

Over the years, I have written many stories.

What a coincidence. In addition to this book adapted from Master Xuanzang's "Journey to the West", there is also "The Romance of the Gods", a Taoist book that said that during the ancient period of conquering Zhou, powerful people in heaven were granted the title of gods. "

Master Tianyi is now a hundred years old, so he can't understand the thoughts of Yang Dongli.

Fortunately, he was able to see these small thoughts very openly, and didn't care much about them at all; what's more, his purpose of coming today happened to be this one.

You must know that during the Tang Dynasty, the competition between the bald masters and the Taoist priests was always going on.

Immediately, with a faint smile on his face, he said in a smooth manner:

"Oh, is there another matter? I don't know if Colonel Huang is free now. If possible, please talk to me about it."

"Of course I have time. This guy has a lot of time." Hu Biao immediately answered.

At the entrance of the cave where Hu Biao answered, the imperial concubine had already walked to the door and shouted to a group of netizens waiting for news outside:
"Fat Huang, no! Captain Huang, come in quickly.

Master Tianyi, I want to hear you talk about the story of "The List of Gods"; you have been writing this book for a long time, do you still remember it clearly, and do you want to make some preparations? "

When Huang Yizhi heard this, he didn't know that he had come to live. It was another good opportunity for him to show off in front of others.

"There's no need to prepare, doesn't this thing just have a mouth?" He said coaxingly first.

In the following time, he took another deep breath to make his big belly slightly smaller. At the same time, he raised his chest and made a mighty gesture, and walked into the small building.

I felt very regretful in my heart that at such a highlight moment for me, this girl Ali could not be present.

Otherwise, such a white-haired girl would just obediently bow down to her own XXL size pants...

　PS: When I wrote about the plot of copying books, I just remembered that I once wore a vest and wrote a book called "I'm Really Not Fa Hai".

　　As a result, I got a bruised face and a swollen face, and when I wrote it on the shelf, it disappeared; if you don’t dislike the plot and romance, and the writing is sticky, you can search it with a certain degree, anyway, it doesn’t cost money.
